Thanks for your thoughts, I’m waiting on the Ernie Ball strings . Think I’ll try them on the Martin 000-15 and see how they sound. I have an Alvarez Yiari Parlor PYM66HD that needs something to wake it up. I love playing it but want to wake up the tone a little. Any suggestions for a small bodied guitar like that. I had to give a big Yawn to the Santa Cruz Strings. They didn’t do anything special to My Larrivee C-03 Tony Emanual 12 fret model that screams with the D’arr’s XT’s on it. You are right about each instrument having it’s own personality. It’s up to us to discover that personality.

Bill, I’ll order the Ernie Ball Bell Bronze set today and give them a try.

I’m the same and change strings as soon as I detect any change in tone. Can’t help myself or stop from changing them out.

Hey Skyman,
Thanks for the knowledge. Every time, over the years as I have gone up in string gauge I have lowered the string tension by tuning down a whole note – D,G,C,F,A,D for a week or two of practice as my fingers need to toughen up to the thicker gauge. after a few days of the whole note drop I will take the strings down only a half note – D#,G#,C#,F#, A# and D#. After a few days of this I can then adjust back to regular tuning. That helps my fingers while they adjust to the different string tension. I’l just capo up if I’m playing with someone else until i return to regular tuning.

I belong to Songster and chordify. Chordify is great for a general feeling of how a song was originally sung and later interpretations but doesn’t break a song down, to actually how to play that tune. Songster is more specific, more note to note interpretations of a song. with fewer lyrics included. It took me along time to learn how to use Songster but now I use it often to help me get started on how a song is put together. It has a free section and a monthly fee section that is very helpful, if you take the time to learn how to use it. That being said you still have to put in the guitar practice time to learn the tunes.

I have important life changing decisions I have make every day. Should I change my guitar strings on any of the over 30 guitars I own. Do any of my amps need new tubes. You know, really important stuff, When I started using the new sign in procedure I was wondering what caused the change. I know I didn’t have any checks bounce or credit problems, except for the original problem of lack of funds to purchase another guitar that I knew would revolutionize my playing style, just like the other 30 guitars did. I didn’t take years to build an awesome learning environment online that helps me learn and enjoy a daily challenge that, mostly, I can handle. I’m new and I love my daily experience here online. If Tony needs to improve the security of my daily experience I’ll cut him some slack and wait to see if it improves or changes how I interact with all of you. That’s my .02 cents worth.

That 2nd scale for A is the minor pentatonic. The first scale was the Major petatonic. Sorry for the confusion.
-
The five notes of the <em style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit;”>major pentatonic scale are the root, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th degrees of the major scale (the 4th and 7th scale degrees are left out). The minor Pentatonic scale is the root, flat 3rd, 4th, 5th and the flatted 7th
Major A scale A, B, C#, E, F#. The pentatonic scale for A is a,c,d,e & g, then back to the root a.
Does that help?

I have the Blue Chip also but like the tone of the Dunlop better. just another example of excessive spending on this nasty guitar habit that I can’t seem to break…

Can Tell you have worked on this good job

Primetone for me also. But I use the heaver 1.5 and the cork grips. I’m more of a Hybrid picker than anything else.
